We left Gulf Harbor, happy to have our watermaker repaired, since there has been little rain in New Zealand over the last month. Next stop: a rendezvous with Colin's college friend, Marian, and company. After a delightful evening dinner at sister Janine's house, we met up on the boat the next day. The sun was out and everyone enjoyed swimming, paddleboarding and just hanging out on the boat. Janine went home for some well deserved peace and quiet, but the rest of the group spent the night on TabbyCat. Gin & Tonics were consumed late into the wee hours and everyone got a good night's sleep, especially Charlie. (Click here for more photos)

The weather swung back and forth between "atmospheric" to "lovely" and we managed to get in quite a a bit of bog trotting and beach walks, not to mention a visit to the Harris tweed shop and the local distillery. The scenery was so dramatic - we were taking 100 photographs a day - making it difficult to decide which photo to use as the header for this blog.

We met Cory of "Hawaii Music Supply" aka "the Ukelele Site" who guided [...]

We were pleased to have Marty & Gabby join us for a week aboard TabbyCat. Since we're currently based in Whangarei, we decided to show them the lovely gardens in the old rock quarry. There are some truly amazing and exotic plants to be seen! We spent the better part of the afternoon there, and didn't [...]
